This navigator bag marries Italian design and craftsmanship with Italian Vacchetta leather and antique-finish hardware, and exudes a sense of quiet confidence. Furthermore, the natural beauty and peculiarities of the leather are carefully preserved, giving each individual bag a one-of-a-kind look.
A word of caution: this bag is intentionally made to be imperfect. It's been distressed and then distressed some more by a unique manufacturing process, resulting in a downright beaten, weathered, and non-uniform look. This PATENTED TREATMENT guarantees that no 2 bags are exactly alike. Because each "skin" is unique in the way it absorbs color, stretches and shrinks, each finished bag is distinct in its color, tonality, texture. The resulting shape and size may also vary slightly.
About the leather variations:
- Distressed: remarkably vintage, "weathered" look. The natural tone of the leather is preserved and it only acquires subtle earthy color "nuances" from the dying process.
- Vacchetta: distressed but pre-treated to acquire more color during the dying process. Slightly less weighty.
About the Color Variations
All bags that share the same color name are treated with the same dye. However, each batch yields slightly different results and we have broken them down into 3 levels of tonality.
The basic color name is given to the medium-toned bags, while any bag that is lighter in color is called with the same name followed by "Lighter" and anything darker by "Darker".
In some cases, the difference is significant enough to warrant its own name. If you see "Contrast Trim", you know that specific parts absorbed the color more readily. If instead you see "Multi-Tone", the overall impression of the bag couldn't easily be classified.
